The Kingsley's Business
The scene opens and Stephen Kingsley and Carly Robins are seen sitting at the kitchen table of Stephen’s unit. Both of them had a cup of coffee sitting in front of them.
Stephen Kingsley: Remember last week you asked me what my family business was?
Carly: Yes, I remember. I thought the family business was hunting crocs.
Stephen Kingsley: My dad started the family business back in 1972. My parents worked their butts off at making sure that we had a decent life. My mother was not too enthused when my dad came home one night and told her what he had just done. My mom did not talk to her husband for two days! My mom would tell us this story and Nicole and I would just start laughing. We don’t have time for you to meet my parents but you would understand why we would laugh. When my mom gets mad, WATCH OUT! At one point she took a hammer and hit my dad in the knee with it.
Carly: So that is where you get your meanness from. You take after your mom.
Stephen Kingsley: My dad could hold his own. My dad was no saint that is for sure. When he runs the business and he was in the business the employees knew that my dad expected a higher standard from them. When I was old enough, I would go in and sweep the floors after the business was closed for the night.
Carly: You mean you swept the floors and now you are the CEO of the business!
Stephen Kingsley: My dad believed in hard work. He believed and he still does that you work your butt off and you will be promoted. My dad did not give me play any favors to me just because I was his son. It’s like Black Stereo getting a shot at the Tag Team Champions at Metamorphosis. Did they deserve a shot? I guess management thought they did.
Stephen Kingsley picks up his cup of coffee and takes a drink. He placed the cup back down and continues to talk.
Stephen Kingsley: When my dad would open the pub, he would always come through this door. Ever since I started helping my dad out I have always gone through this door. When we close the pub down we would always leave through this door. My dad taught me a lesson while I worked here. He was the first one to arrive and he was the last one to leave at night. We would make sure that the ladies made it to their vehicles or on the bus or their husband or boyfriends were there to walk them home.
Carly: I have never seen you touch a beer while in the United States.
Stephen Kingsley: Believe me, when I was here at the pub I used to be able to put away a LOT of Amber fluid in a night. Then I started to hunt crocs and I realize that being drunk and hunting crocs was not a safe thing to do. Just like Black Stereo will find out on Sunday during Collision. They are facing the number one contender to the Tag Team Champions but most of all they are facing The Church of Thor. Like I said I started hunting crocs as a hobby. Some nights it was so chaotic here at the pub that I could not wait until the next day when I would go out and started hunting crocs. Hunting crocs was how I would release my anger. Fighting with the crocs and slamming that knife into the crocs was exciting. Black Stereo will not go down quietly. They want to be able to get another shot at Team America, but when it is all said and done the beat down that the Church of Thor will execute on Black Stereo will be AWESOME!
Carly: So how long did you stay at sweeping the floors?
Stephen Kingsley: Once I had proven to my dad that I was willing to work hard and deserve to move on up and of course when I hit a certain age he allowed me to start bartending. My dad was the best bartender we had. I would be behind the bar and when a fight would break out I would jump over the bar and grab someone and tossed them out on their ass. My dad would get mad at me, because I would jump over the bar instead of walking around the bar. My dad would say I just had to go “head over heels” to make sure the patrons were safe.
Carly: From watching you in the ring, I would guess you enjoy yourself as much as you do in the ring.
Carly takes a sip of coffee from her coffee cup and placed it back on the table. She looked straight into Stephen’s eyes.
Carly: So are you going to tell me the name of the bar or am I going to have to “beat” it out of you. Wait you would like that too much.
Stephen had a big smile on his face. He was shaking his head in a yes motion.
Stephen Kingsley: The family business is called Kingsley’s Pub and Grill.
Carly: Did your mom have anything to do with the Pub and Grill?
Stephen Kingsley: The whole family had something to do. Mom would run the cash register and take care of the books. Mom had a degree in accounting. She kept the books straight. She knew where every penny was being spent. My parents gave us a descent live but they also put the money back into the business. There were about two years where business was down. Dad and mom had put some money back just in case. Those two years were tough but Kingsley’s Pub and Grill is still going strong today. The Church of Thor had a couple of losses, but we are still as strong as ever. Black Stereo will have the misfortune to find that out the hard way. This Sunday, The Church of Thor will show Black Stereo why we are the number one contender.
Carly: So you deserve to be the CEO of Kingsley’s Pub and Grill. Why you? Why not Nicole?
Stephen Kingsley: Dad always thought Nicole was different. She always had dreams to become a doctor. He allowed her to follow her dreams. Dad would allow Nicole to work at Kingsley’s. Dad was always protected of Nicole. Once Nicole had this guy by the throat and had him against the wall. The guy was trying to hit on Nicole. Dad had me go over and protect Nicole. Hell, I should have protected the guy. Nicole let go of his throat and told him to leave and he took a swing at Nicole and Nicole ducks and nails the guy in his family jewels. Now if that wasn’t bad enough, she took the guy and slams his head against the bar. Nicole then took the guy by his jeans and tossed him out the door. Black Stereo you had your chance at Team America and you failed. No wonder you failed because you are unworthy. Church of Thor will show you why we are worthy?
Carly: You are kidding? Nicole does not look like she could hurt a fly.
Stephen started laughing. Carly just looked at him.
Stephen Kingsley: I can tell you a couple of stories about a couple of guys she used to date. These guys pissed Nicole off and needless to say she took care of them.
Carly could not believe what she was hearing. Stephen takes another drink of his coffee as the scene fades out.
